Lurkers Identify Yourselves

After reading a few threads this week which seemed to start out with something like "I have read this thread for a few years now but never posted" or "I've only been a lurker so far but have a question". I'm just wondering how many people are out there are lurkers and like to listen to the conversations/topics but never post. I guess this thread is two-fold. 1. For me to say hi to all of you lurkers and 2. Give you lurkers a place to introduce yourself, say hi and then... go back to lurking

"'Tis better to keep silent and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all dubt." As I ave never been one to be afraid of being thought a fool, I dove right in. Took me a little while to get the lay of the land so to speak, but I have gelaned so much....

I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.

Newbie

I am new to hammock camping ever since a buddy let me try out his on a recent outing. I have had hammock envy ever since. I was/am a lurker but had to join to see some of the innovative setups while I try and decide on a hammock system for me. This forum has been a great resource and it seems to be a nice community. I'll be less of a lurker and more of a poster when I have something more to say (and try out my new hammock system whatever that might be).

And... if you have learned anything from this forum, and thereby saved yourself a few coins along the way, do the right thing, and become a contributing member....

This forum has cost me plenty.......

I've aquired too many hammocks, straps, cords, rings, buckles and tarps in the few short months I've been here. I just picked up my mother-in-laws old sewing machine. (like I don't have enough hobbies already)

Seriously, great forum with a lot of help. Happy to be a contributing member.

Hey, I am a newbie here, too. I don't post very often, because usually there is someone far more experienced who can answer questions far better than I can. But I love to read new posts. Lots of knowledge here!
